Creating a network
The problem with the post-modern ego is that it gets in the way of things that are more important. My last blog is a good example of that; I thought it was the best post I had written so far, (In fact I probably thought it was the best post ever written :) ) when I just reread it I was blushing to see my own ego frozen in cyberspace.
The ego seems to come up inevitably when we take steps towards our own freedom and evolution, how could it not, after all, freedom is what threatens it. I am experiencing that a lot, and so are many people that were in the courses that I wrote about in earlier posts. A group of them spoke about this last Friday and found it very liberating to find that this is not a personal experience, that it is not a problem that has to stop us from evolving. What I am excited about is that a lot of them are forming a network now, and they are using the principles of Evolutionary Enlightenment so ego does not get in the way between them. A group of them are getting together regularly (read Irene's blog, she writes about it beautifully), some of them have skype calls, we recently did a weekend together and they are starting to form some holons or groups, to do with specific issues like work, and parenting.
I have been getting increasingly inspired by seeing this emerge and by seeing so many of my new friends develop so rapidly from when I first met them back in Autumn. The network is gradually growing and is beginning to span Holland and the North of Belgium. To me it feels a bit like a positive tsunami, an unstoppable wave of interest in freedom and change. You are warmly invited to find out about this network and join it if you like, so we can develop together which eventually hopefully ends up becoming a culture that takes over the old (as tends to happen in history :) ).
So as I mentioned in the previous post, we will be doing a conference call on March 5 from 20.30 till 21.30, and I will organize them regularly. You are also very welcome to come do the Evolutionary Enlightenment course that I am teaching in Amsterdam in the weekend of March 10, 11 (register), or the one on 5 consequtive Thursday nights in Rotterdam starting March 15 (register), or come to the free intro evening (info)There is much more, but we can speak about that on the call... You can email me at info.amsterdam@enlightennext.org and I will send you the numbers.

Wow Arjan, it is so huge to show the world that ego isn't a problem - as long as we are able and willing to see it from the largest perspective possible and are always willing to cage it as often and as quick as we can and relentlessly continue to do that. I find this blog an impressive example of what 'caging the ego' means - that's very wholesome because it helps all of us to gain more insight and learn - wonderful!
